"I'm being serious here, Lauren. Jokes apart, you are not getting any younger as it is."
"Let go of my hand. I need to open the door for the children," Kathleen slapped Lauren's hands away.
By then they were at the car park, she opened the door for the children to get in then stood by the car with Lauren.
"Tsk! Am I older than you?" Lauren hissed.
"If I remember correctly, you are several months older than I am."
"And that is why I am advising you as an elder that I am," Kathleen poked. "Don't you think you should be obedient and listen to me when I speak?"
"How come I never knew you were this shameless? You have been so far away from me that I don't understand you anymore."
"Whatever, but you can't change the subject." Kathleen brushed her off immediately. "I've promised your parents and I must deliver."
Lauren stared at Kathleen in disbelief. "So you would sacrifice me without thinking twice?"
